Our History
Meet the Team
Meet Nic ⭐️
Hi, I’m Nic – founder, owner, and head seamstress at Sunnybank Sewing Services.
I started sewing at just 6 years old, making cushions with my cousin on my mum’s sewing machine – and I’ve never looked back.
My career began in 1988 working in factories producing army uniforms, M&S trousers, and garments for British Rail. After moving to Chesterfield in 1994, I continued my work at Viyella and built years of hands-on experience in the industry.
Alongside raising my children, I launched DanHan Quilts & Crafts, creating handmade pieces, and later worked on medical mattress covers before becoming a national manager for a clothing alterations company in 2018.
In 2021, during COVID-19, Sunnybank Sewing Services was born – turning a lifelong passion into a thriving local business.
I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come and love bringing my skills and creativity to our community every day.
Meet Cat ⭐️
Cat joined Sunnybank Sewing Services in May 2023, bringing years of experience and skill to the team.
Her love for sewing started at school, where textiles was her favourite subject. She went on to study Art & Design at college, followed by a Fashion & Clothing course—graduating with a distinction in sewing.
After college, Cat spent 14 years working for a local alterations company, perfecting her craft and building incredible expertise.
When she became pregnant with her little boy, she decided it was time for a new chapter—and we were lucky enough to welcome her to Sunnybank.
Cat’s talent, experience, and eye for detail make her an invaluable part of the team, and we’re so glad to have her.
Meet Hannah ⭐️
Hannah is the backbone of our admin team, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. She manages our social media, booking system, website, texts, and phone calls, making sure our customers are well taken care of.
Before joining us, Hannah worked as a residential social care worker for Derbyshire County Council. She may not have had a background in sewing, but is a whiz with an unpicker and is always happy to jump in when things get busy!
Hannah recently welcomed a beautiful baby in April 2024 and currently works in the shop Monday, Wednesday & Friday. Despite her busy life, she brings energy, warmth, and plenty of laughs to the team. If you contact us, chances are you'll be chatting with Hannah and you'll always be met with a friendly and helpful response!
